Description A simple city-state-like place where major governments meet to do trade. This city is most useful for those that are looking for a place to park an airship full of goods. When it comes to governments that distrust each other, this neutral zone serves as a handy middle-man: a place where parties can meet and do trade in fairness.
The Government here is pretty lackluster and barebones, but in addition, not a lot of people live in the city. Most of the city is dangerously laid out, and there are pipes and vents all over that offer little comfort in safety. Most of the citizens that do live in GRey Smoke help in some way to keep the city under control and afloat. From helping clean the streets to performing maintenance on pipes and buildings, the citizens make up for a lack of government presence or funds.
You can think of a Grey Smoke as a difficult place to live, but an all too convenient place to be ignored. Those that do learn the working of this city will be able to make lucrative money off of the various parties that need is services.
They require a decent amount of resources to keep the city afloat, and its lack of connection to any natural water source is dangerous, but the city makes do with hiring adventurers and cutting parts of deals for themselves. The city draws in quite a bit of money on these deals it hosts but spends most of it on staying afloat.
